Reach IF statment from address field

Hi!
Is there any way to reach a IF ELSE statment via the address filed?

Like there is with the GET method for PHP?

For example index.html?car=mercedes writes or reqiure a file, that should have been viewed if the variable cars value was "mercedes"? :)

you can check the value of the query string like this:

Code:

var car=window.location.search.substring(1).split("=")[1];

if (car=="mercedes"){

alert("do stuff")

}

... the "do stuff" bit I leave to you... :D

Allowing for missing parameter:

Code:

var car=window.location.search.substring(1).split("=");



if ( car.length == 2 && car[ 1 ] == "mercedes" )

{

  alert("do stuff")

}

fair enough. seems overly cautious though... if the string is index.html?car=

then window.location.search.substring(1).split("=")[1]

will return blank, which obviously != "mercedes", so why?

I just don't like to see the practice of assuming the existence of an object or element, even if it's not fatal.
